TVL (Total Value Locked)

The total amount of cryptocurrency deposited in a DeFi protocol's smart contracts. TVL is one of the most important metrics for measuring a DeFi project's popularity and trustworthiness. Higher TVL generally indicates stronger user confidence in the protocol.

Example

Aave's TVL of over $10 billion makes it one of the largest DeFi lending protocols.
